Been sorting out the suspension this week whilst the shell is at the spray shop. I've looked at the tie bar
mounts and I thought they needed a bit of a beef up .
So out came the mig welder and lo and behold - some beefed up tiebars!

They are off tomorrow with the rear beam, tie bars, roll bar and bottom arms to be shot blasted and
powder coated - also nipping in to see how the shell is progressing - I hope that the rear arches have
been put in but all will be revealed tomorrow !

Scott,
The only pics I have is when they were in situ taken a couple of years ago...

.... complete with poly bushes and spacer blocks. This mod was done more to get the tie bars to clear
the end of the F28 gearbox than for an anti-dive kit.

Awesome.. again you impress me with your dedication.

Well I'm sure you will be all pleased to know that in the true tradition of body shops things haven't
progressed as far as I would have hoped. In fact, its moved from one side of the bodyshop to the
other corner!!! Well not going to mither as its taken 2 years to get to this stage - another couple of extra
weeks won't make that much difference!!!
Anyway, I've now got the loom out of storage for a tidy up and a new fuse box (the corsa one) and this is
the mess I have to sort out .......
